Best Answer

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. The particle displacement in a transverse wave moves up and down, or side to side, rather than back and forth. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
